Enjoy uninterrupted quiet on the Maine coast in our light-filled oceanfront cabin. Just 5 mins from lovely Boothbay Harbor for kayaking, sailing, hiking, seafood tasting, you name it! Or just relax at the cabin in a stunning natural setting.

Enjoy uninterrupted peace and quiet on the Maine coast in this sweet, rustic cabin perfect for artists, writers, or anyone else wanting to unplug and unwind for a few days or weeks. This charming cabin, built in 1982, is situated only 50 feet from the water's edge, and, with only one house visible through the woods, it is difficult to find a more private location than this.
The cabin is of rustic design, with one private bedroom and single common area that includes a kitchenette, eat-in table, couch, and TV (no cable though). Above the common area is a loft with a double bed mattress, accessible by a wooden ladder. Off the common area is an enclosed composting toilet. There is no shower so all washing up must be done in the bath tub. There is no internet or telephone connection. The small wood stove is no longer functional, but three portable electric heaters are kept permanently in the cabin for any chilly Maine nights. Such simple living is certainly not for everyone, but can be a tremendous treat for those interested in enjoying this beautiful natural setting.
The cabin looks over a salt river (Back River) which is part of the ocean but looks more like a river/lake due to the protection of Barter's Island across the water. The cove that the cabin sits on is tidal, which means that half the time you are looking at the ocean and half the time it is a natural mud flat. So the view changes every 6 hours! To enjoy the water to its fullest when the tide is up, a double kayak may be rented from the property owners at a very reasonable rate.
The cabin is located 5 minutes drive from lovely Boothbay Harbor, a stunning destination for travelers of all kinds. Enjoy fine local seafood, kayaking, whale watching, sunset sailing trips, and the charming downtown with its quaint shops. There are also many beautiful walking trails through the Boothbay Region Land Trust, along with one of the world's finest botanical gardens at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, located only 2 miles from the cabin.
The owners of the cabin live on the adjacent property so any questions or concerns can be immediately addressed.

Our stay, even in October, was incredibly comfortable, and the surrounding area was beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation, and we wished we could have stayed longer! The cabin was simple but had everything we could want.

EliseOctober 2013

The rustic cabin is set far back from the road, with beautiful water views, and feels quite private. It is so close to Boothbay Harbor and the surrounding peninsulas and islands that it is the perfect launching point to explore the entire midcoast area. While we rarely saw the hosts, they were very welcoming & we felt as though we had the place to ourselves. We would definitely come back for another stay.

BrianOctober 2014

Our stay at the cabin near Boothbay Harbor this past few days was just an unbelievable experience. You choose: breakfast inside or outside, depending on the sea level it can be nice either way since the cabin leaves you the full sight towards the beauty of the nature! We rented out their kayak, went for several bike rides and enjoyed a nice boat trip! Fresh lobster is the best! Thanks to Mike, our host! :-) We definitively recommend this cabin to everyone, who needs a little of that peaceful time in privacy and nature. Thanks 1000x

GabrielaJuly 2013

The cabin was everything we had hoped it would be. It was very private and sheltered from the main house by trees and a fair distance. The view from the main level bed was awesome to wake up to every morning! We LOVED the tub and were very relieved to find the hot water plentiful. There were a few days during our stay that were a bit chilly and the heaters provided more then enough heat to keep us warm and snug. Ian was very polite and understanding when our older dog was being a bit of an annoyance towards his own dog (it was very embarrassing). He understood completely though and made us feel at ease the whole time. The area is dead quite and you can hear no traffic or people sounds at all. The drive to the main town of Boothbay is literally 5 min. We would highly recommend staying here and hope we can return someday.

CatherineOctober 2014

The cabin was everything Ian indicated it would be -- quiet, cozy, peaceful, surrounded by stunningly beautiful woods and water. Ian and his family are gracious hosts: excellent communication, a super-helpful guide to the Boothbay Harbor area, and use of the kayak. The cabin was an inspiring and relaxing place for our family to unwind, have fun and recharge. We'd love to come back next year!

ElizabethSeptember 2015

Great little cabin in one of my favorite new towns! The cabin was very clean, quiet and peaceful and surrounded by beautiful woods and a tidal river. The owner's were respectful of our space, but also offered tips and assistance easily when asked. I definitely recommend this place!

KelliSeptember 2012

The cabin is very serene. We enjoyed the tides changing each day. Boothbay Harbor, the closest town, is very quaint and nice, and Portland is an easy drive if you need to see more people. We grilled a lot and roasted marshmallows. The compost toilet will take getting used to for some. Overall, I'd recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

TimSeptember 2013

We had an amazing time at the cabin! It was incredibly comfortable and everything we could have asked for. Our hosts were great - friendly and very respectful of our privacy. Would recommend this cabin to anyone and hope to some day return to the wonderfully charming town of Boothbay!

Our stay at salt meadow was nothing short of excellent. The apartment was clean and offered a spectacular view of the water. The hosts were very friendly and helpful during our stay. I would highly recommend and would greatly consider staying again.

DanielAugust 2016

Jessica sent me a message on our arrival day to insure that we knew how to access the home. We were greeted by Jessica herself. She showed us around the space. The apartment was clean and well appointed. The home is located about 5 minutes from town by car. Nice if you don't like crowds. The family lives in an adjoining space and has a dog, who barked for a while. Guests should be aware that the "entire home" does not include a kitchen, although there is a dorm fridge and a Kuerig.

RachelSeptember 2016

Beautiful place! Wonderful place in between all prime places and so quiet ! Jessica was wonderful!

AmberOctober 2016

Jessica was a fantastic host. The accommodations were even better than we expected. Everything was spotlessly clean, inviting and very comfortable. The location was excellent. We loved hiking at the Ovens Mouth Nature Preserve, within walking distance. It was very quiet, peaceful and private, but close to the sights around Boothbay Harbor. We hope to go again in the future.

BarneySeptember 2016

Jessica sent us a text message on the morning of our arrival with detailed directions to the place. She also recommended a few great places for breakfast. The place is as good as the pictures and we had a great view of the sunrise the from the house. I would definitely rebook here the next time I visit the area.

ThuwaraganOctober 2016

Peaceful tranquility! Jessica's place is located on a beautiful country road with an incredible view of a marsh but just minutes from all the amenities of Boothbay Harbor. The apartment was tastefully decorated and impeccably clean. Jessica was easy to communicate with. Couldn't recommend this place more. We can't wait to come back!

AdrienneNovember 2016

Jessica welcomed us warmly when we arrived at Salt Meadow and was prompt in responding to several text messages we sent. She provided everything a guest could need. The place is airy, comfortable, and wonderfully quiet. We enjoyed the view out back across the meadow to the water and the opportunity to walk down the country road out front. Once we made our way to Salt Meadow the first time, it was easy to find thereafter. Quite handy to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and beautiful Porter Preserve.

DianeOctober 2016

Jessica's suite was great! Loved the quiet neighborhood and how clean everything was. Also the Starbucks coffee in the morning. Thank you!

Our home is nestled in a very private, quiet area on the East side of the East Boothbay peninsula with 235 feet of unencumbered view on the Atlantic Ocean.You can walk to Ocean Point on the rocks or drive to the beach . We are located 6 miles from Booth bay Harbor and near numerous public walking trails.
We have put a lot of thought and love in to the furnishings of our home to make it comfortable and relaxing.

You can choose from a room downstairs with a queen size poster bed and a private bath with a walk in shower. Or you may choose to stay in a room with 2 single beds that has a tub/shower combination bathroom. Both rooms have beautiful ocean views. The rooms are very well furnished. We provide bedding and toiletry essentials.
You will have access to a common downstairs living room centrally located to the bedrooms, where there is a television and you do have wifi access. It is a great room to read in or play games or just relax. Here you will find a small refrigerator freezer and keurig coffee pot for your use.
There is a gravel patio outside of these rooms with a private access and exit. It is a wonderful place to sit and watch the boat activity on the water and enjoy coffee or tea. There are adirondack chairs to sit and enjoy nature and the beautiful Atlantic. You can walk on the rocks to explore the tidal pools or hike around to Grimes Cove beach, a sandy beach.
We will gladly suggest places to visit, restaurants to try or trips you would like to take. Boothbay area has a lot to offer, just ask and we will help in anyway possible, my husband drives the in town trolley for the local merchants and has a good knowledge of the area attractions and restaurants. We do have 2 bikes on the premises if you like to ride.

Our home is 8 miles from town and is located off of a private road, we are a part of the Ocean Point community.
If you want to drive to the beach at ocean point there is a public parking lot that has all day free parking. We have free private parking here at the house for your convenience.
We have a washer and dryer available for limited use. Also a pod coffee/tea maker and a small refrigerator/ freezer is available for your use.

This house by the sea is a piece of heaven. Waking up to a view of the sun rising up over the ocean is glorious as is sitting on the porch or the lawn staring at the sea. The area is very nice with great walks along the sea and jumping from rock to rock :-) There are few places I have visited that compare favorably to this. The room was very nice and spotless and has its own bathroom. Tom and Sarah went out of their way to accomodate me and made me feel at home. I appreciated a lot that even in these heated election-times they were very tolerant towards differing oppinions and made me feel so welcome.

PhilipOctober 2016

This was a wonderful place to stay for a long weekend on the Maine coast. The setting is beautiful -- right on a rocky shore looking out to Monhegan Island in the distance. It was great to start each day with a walk along the rocks as the sun was coming up, and to end the evenings sitting on the patio looking out to the ocean. The house we stayed in was beautiful and private, but it was an easy drive to get into town. Our room was great -- clean and well-appointed with a big comfortable bed and a direct view of the sunrise over the ocean, and a very nice private bathroom. We also had use of the downstairs den, and could come and go with our own entrance. Tom and Sara are excellent hosts, and really made us feel at home with plenty of wonderful home-baked muffins and cookies during our stay. They really helped get us oriented to the area, and were just lovely people to talk with. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to stay with them!

PaulaJuly 2016

The accommodations are as beautiful as advertised. There is a full view of the ocean and if you listen, you can even hear the warning bell from a distant buoy. Lobstermen will come by to attend their traps just offshore. There are a couple of chairs outside under a non-enclosed overhang where you can sit with your coffee and watch the ocean even if it is raining. Wireless is somewhat spotty due to rocky granite all around - so don’t bring any urgent work with you. This is a place to relax. Tom and Sara are very attentive hosts and will be sure that you are comfortable. Their little Westie will be a happy visitor. Things to do: Cabbage Island clambake & tour, take at least 2 hours at the Costal Main Botanical Gardens – one of the best in the country – like a garden in a forest, then take a kayak tour right from Botanical Gardens with Tidal Transit. Have lunch at Trevett’s. Don’t miss the East Boothbay General Store and their blueberry cake. Further afield is Pemaquid Lighthouse that you can climb to see the lighting mechanism. The lighthouse grounds are perfect for a picnic and afterword, a scramble across the sea rocks. Be sure to stop at Watershed Brewery Tavern in Boothbay and order a flight of draughts and crunchy fries (try to guess the top secret seasoning ingredients!).

danaAugust 2016

We had a fabulous stay - the house and view are truly stunning. It's a magical place. Tom and Sara were great hosts too! Don't think we could have picked a better place for our anniversary getaway trip to Boothbay.

CharlesAugust 2016

My best Airbnb stay ever! Highly recommend! The house and our room were practically brand new. The functionality, the decor and the view are that of a 5-star hotel. Private. Quiet. A spectacle of blue ocean as soon as you pulled into the driveway of the home. Huge picture window of the ocean as you rest or read a book in bed. Nothing but ocean waves and a buoy bell to fall asleep to. It was out of a dream for us. So after a day of staying here, we decided to spend our entire vacation in Maine a Sara and Tom's place. Tom, our host, has become our great friend. He is a local tour guide (trolley driver) in Boothbay and recommended all the best places to go including the botanical gardens, an unforgettable trip to Monhegan Island and a fabulous dinner for two at a tiny bistro up the road. A lite breakfast was offered every morning although we didn't expect it. And by the end of our trip, we felt like we were leaving family. Our stay here was an unexpected delight. A memory my wife and I will hold on to for many years to come. If you love Maine and especially the Boothbay area, go and experience this yourself. You will not regret it.

MatthewSeptember 2016

We've had unforgettable stay at this beautiful sparkling clean house, that offers the best view of the ocean, rocks and islands. Tom and Sara were very accommodating and made sure we've had everything we needed. We highly recommend this place!

YuliyaOctober 2016

Upon arrival, we immediately fell in love with the secluded location. The views were breathtaking from the room. Wildlife was abundant to discover every day. The room was super clean, modern, yet retained a wonderful seaside charm. Our hosts were lovely and helpful to talk to, even waiting up for our arrival and Tom helped carry our bags down to our room. Truly, a place to get away from it all, you could walk down to the water or delight in the gardens full of butterflies, hummingbirds and dragonflies. The bed was incredibly comfortable and all amenities were available. Listening to the ocean waves without the sound of a single car passing by was like being a world away on your own little retreat.

RoxieAugust 2016

We had a very memorable stay at Sara and Tom's home over Labor Day weekend, and we were quite sad to leave yesterday morning. Their home is stunning, in an ideal location right on the water, and the house is quite special because of the amazing thought and care Sara and Tom put into designing and building it. Our room was downstairs with ocean views (and we had access to the downstairs TV/sitting room); we awoke each morning to the sounds of the waves followed by coffee in Adirondack chairs overlooking the rocks and water. The house is slightly off the beaten path but only a 10-15 minute drive to Booth Bay Harbor, and we liked the location and enjoyed the privacy and peace and quiet. Sara and Tom are just lovely and were very open and welcoming to us. They provided excellent recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the area, and we really enjoyed talking with them and learning more about their experience coming to Maine and building such a wonderful home. We will definitely be back!

Our cottage is located on a pristine lake in the Boothbay Region on the coast of Maine, just a five minute walk away from the beautiful Coastal Maine Botanical (website hidden)'s about a one mile walk or ride to the center of Boothbay Harbor.

Boothbay Harbor is well known as one of the premier boating centers along the New England coast. You may spend your time exploring secluded coves, while hiking twenty-five miles of nature trails
maintained by the Boothbay Region Land Trust, browsing among the many little shops in the Harbor, or taking advantage of the numerous scenic cruises
or sport fishing trips available. There are many fine restaurants where you can enjoy fresh Maine seafood. Our cottage is in a private wooded area on a secluded end of the lake. We have a roomy central grassy area, a sandy beach ideal for swimming, and rowboats, kayaks and canoes that you may use for fishing (bass and trout) or for exploring other parts of the lake
Included is the use of our rowboats, canoes, and kayaks.
We do not conduct a formal check-in and check-out. We live on the premises and are happy to visit with you as much or as little as you like.

Our cabins have this entire end of the lake all to themselves in a nice wooded area while still being just a mile from Boothbay Harbor and the ocean.
All four of our cottages are completely furnished and well appointed with all the amenities for a relaxing and comfortable get-away. Just bring your own food, bed sheets and bath towels. We will supply linens for an additional fee if requested.
Friday to Friday weekly rentals apply for July and August.There is a gas grill on the outside deck.

Great experience! This cozy cabin had everything we wanted for our stay. Paula and Bill made everything very easy and welcoming. Easy ride into town to get anything you need, and Paula's binder of suggestions made finding anything we wanted very easy.

HollyJune 2014

The Chesuncook cottage was adorable. The kitchen was stocked with what was needed for cooking. The cottage was the perfect size fit the two of us. Knickerbocker Lake was right outside our door. And the harbour was minutes from the cottage. Paula and Billy were very welcoming. They were very responsive to the requests we had. We would stay all summer if we could.

BeckyJuly 2016

Our stay at the cabin was terrific, a quaint little get away not too far from downtown so we could do some shopping. Beautiful view of the lake from the cabin as well, would definitely go back!!

VictoriaSeptember 2016

Wonderful place to stay!

OdessaJuly 2016

Picture perfect place. I'm low key and came and went. Perfect cabin atmosphere. Did here the road noise some but was no big thing. Beautiful scenery. Easy access to town and never had a problem parking in town during peek season. Thanks for the stay. :)

MitchellJuly 2015

This was the perfect getaway for 4th of July weekend. We stayed 4x nights and loved every second of it. Upon arrival, Paula helped us find the cabin but then we had total privacy all weekend. The cabin was very clean and there's enough room for 3-4 if doubling up on the queen bed and sofa couch. There's an outside porch area where we got to enjoy a beautiful view of the lake every morning. At the lake there are several kayak/canoes you can borrow for a peaceful ride around the lake. We spent most nights sitting by the water (quietly) under amazing starlit sky. Lots to do nearby: Two beaches within 1hr from cabin (Popham and Pemaquid); 15-20mins from Hannaford for groceries and Boothbay town center; and 20mins from Boothbay Lobster Wharf where we had dinner by the water on the way back from Pemaquid. Overall great experience- would go again!

Relax, reflect, & let time stand still when you visit this tiny, off-the-grid (no electricity) cabin. Lobster bakes, swim, paddle the cove, swing the hammock, enjoy an hypnotic fire and unplug. Looking for pure Maine experience in the Mid-Coast?

The cabin, built by my father in 1985, is hand-made from logs harvested on site. In this tiny home, the loft offers 1 double futon on an elevated frame, and a couch downstairs that opens to a bed. The cabin has a private and quiet 180 degree view from a peninsula overlooking Pleasant Cove. High tide provides refreshing swimming (we have no shower, but washing up in the cove is exhilarating) and canoeing (one two-seater is included). At low tide try, clam digging and bird watching.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all the cooking utensils you'll need for your visit. Just need to bring your favorite food and ice to put in our cooler. (Hannaford's grocery store is about 7 minutes away).
The old fashioned outhouse is located ten steps from the front door and comes equipped with TP, paper towels, and hand sanitizing gel.
The parcel is over four acres of forest. Lots of trails and plenty of space to explore means privacy and room to roam. Park two cars near the cabin and more at top of hill for visitors.
I've tried to make your experience as easy, intuitive, and independent as possible, so you can enjoy your vacation privately. I am always available for questions, however, if you need help. Texting me at (207)522 8096 is the best way to get an immediate answers to any questions.

Boothbay Harbor is a great Maine town. The cabin is in a remote section of the shore front, 5 miles away. There's lots to do in town (whale watching, fishing, shopping, eating, theater, etc.) Things are pretty quiet in the immediate cabin neighborhood -- lots of privacy, and solitude.
Private transportation is necessary to get to downtown.
Bottled spring water is provided for drinking. The water from the sink isn't potable, but fine for cleaning and hand washing purposes.

Our host was warm and welcoming. He was thorough and responsive and even helped us get settled in. Our experience was just what we were looking for... a weekend of being unplugged, focused on our family and immersed in nature. We read books in the loft looking out over the bay, drank wine by the woodstove, sat on the porch listening to bird calls and eating our breakfast as we watched our toddlers explore the wooded front yard. We had a wonderful time discovering the waterfront at low tide and following the sounds of waterfalls to see where fresh water enters the bay. This place is full of character and heart... a great way to spend quality time with loved ones or time away from the hustle and bustle of everything else. The cabin was clean, well stocked and full of charm and character. It is close to the happenings of Boothbay, and we high;y recommend checking out the Boothbay Botanical Gardens. Thank you!

EricMay 2016

Really beautiful, private location. Surrounded by woods and ocean. The cabin met all our needs for a night away from the city. Elia was great!

kelsSeptember 2016

Communication with Elia prior to our arrival was great! The cabin was beautiful and even better than depicted in the pictures! We enjoyed all the personal touches. Views and location were perfect and just what we were looking for. Our 2 year old loved the loft, although we had her sleep downstairs.

Would love to come back.

My husband and I were in Boothbay enjoying a concert that our children bought for us for mother and father's day. Staying at Mossy Glen Lodge was a perfect end to our great day. It is in a beautiful location and Jamerling was a great host. We loved the place and the host and would go back again and spend more time on the trails outside of his house.

RobbinJuly 2016

We had a lovely stay at the Mossy Glen Lodge! Jamie is a gracious and engaging host. Highly recommended!

AramApril 2016

Jamie's lodge was as described and reflected the pictures shown. It was a well lived in space and could be described as rustic. Jaime was a friendly host and had several yarns to tell. If you are looking for five star accomodation where everything is spotless, you will not find it here as this is a relaxed home. It is a lodge in the woods. Simple and warm. The memory foam mattress on the bed was intended to help with sleep. It is quite firm but we still slept well. We think this was more due to the complete silence... no sounds of cars at all. Bliss!

Justin and LaurenMay 2016

We only spent one night in Jamerling's lodge, which was a pity - his place is very tranquil and unique. If you're looking for a relaxed and laid-back experience, look no further. Jamerling gave us some good tips on things to do in the area too. We definitely enjoyed our brief stay.

JohannesSeptember 2016

Eclectic, spacious, peaceful, clean, well-kept lodge-- everything we were looking for a vacation by the ocean in Maine... we highly enjoyed our stay. Wifi signal was good. Phone signal (as long as you don't have AT&T) is good. Host was very friendly-- he lives in a smaller cabin outside the main airbnb and welcomed us when we arrived. He responds to messages almost immediately. Cabin itself had 2 levels, plus basement-- each with private room and bathroom. Very cozy, well-decorated, and clean. This lodge only had 3 airbnb reviews when my boyfriend and I booked it, so we were mildly concerned about safety. The doors to the cabin were unlocked, and the location of the cabin was very secluded and in the middle of the woods. We did have AT&T, so barely had signal. We would have felt a lot safer if there had been secure locks on all the doors. That being said, though, we had absolutely no issues at all while we were here-- there are signs leading to the cabin; it was well-lit despite us coming in around 10 p.m. Jamie's guestbook was full of people who had previously stayed in the cabin and enjoyed it (but maybe didn't leave online reviews). Another guest was staying in the basement while we were there. Overall, we felt this was a wonderful place and exactly what we were looking for for a peaceful weekend getaway- would highly recommend!

YangJune 2016

The host was very welcoming and friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable. The surroundings were very peaceful. Although I do not usually sleep well away from home, the bed was very comfortable and I slept remarkably well. I would highly recommend Mossy Glen Lodge others and I will consider staying there again.

WillJune 2016

Jamie is very welcoming and easy to deal with. The space is just as pictured. The only slight inconvenience is that noise travels easily through the house. The other guests while I was there were no problem but I could see some inconvenience with more fellow guests and with louder ones.

Linda and Ted made my husband and I feel welcome immediately. Ted Showed us around the space when we arrived and explained the house rules. The private entrance and bathroom were very nice, so we did not have to bother them when we came in late and left early (we had to check out around 5).

MarjorieAugust 2016

It's a nice room with nice amenities. Shower stall is small so anyone who is tall or of a larger constitution may not desire it. Area is quiet and close to the tourist attractions. Linda is an attentive and responsive host.

Jordyn July 2016

Linda was a great host. She also runs a delightful and very professional spa which I would recommend to anyone. The space was neat and clean.

AmyOctober 2016

Linda was excellent at responding to all my questions before and after I booked. Place was very reasonably priced. Great location only about 4 miles out of Booth Bay. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

RalphOctober 2016

Linda has what I would call a walk in basement style of accommodation. I could back my car right up to the door an unload my belongings into the room. I love this sort of accommodation because it is set apart and much quieter than most other living arrangements.

StanAugust 2015

The bedroom was very cozy and comfortable. The rest of the space had plenty of amenities and nice snacks available for the hungry traveler. It seems to be a very nicely converted garage space so the floors outside of the bedroom are concrete, though she did put a couple of rugs down to make traveling to/from the bathroom more comfortable. A/C was perfect. Linda is very clear and communicative but gave plenty of space. Our stay was brief but nice and easy and Boothbay is lovely!

EmilyJuly 2016

I came in late and kept odd hours as it was my reunion weekend and there was lots of catching up to do. My hosts were wonderful about it and left me to my fun. The entrance is separate, the space is lovely, cool and quiet. There was even artwork and snacks!

You can watch beautiful sunsets while sitting on the deck with a drink and a good book. We own two kayaks and two canoes available for your use. Paddle to the Back River or to islands in the Sheepscot, and even to the Atlantic, from our little cove.

We book only by the week--$1500. Saturday to Saturday.
When you are tired of boiling your own lobster at home, it is just a short drive to the many restaurants and shops of Boothbay Harbor. One of the best lobster rolls in the region is within walking distance at the lobster shack on our little island, where you can also buy milk and beer and pick up a New York Times. Two hiking trails operated by the Boothbay Region Land Trust can be reached by foot from the front door.
The whole cottage is yours to use, as well as the boats.
We are available for help at another cottage up the road.

Hodgdon Island is small, but it has a small store/restaurant and a post office. There are 3 bridges connecting this small island with 2 other islands and the mainland.
The cottage is a 5-mile drive to the town of Boothbay Harbor with its many shops and restaurants. There is a place to park your car directly in front of the cottage.
The cottage is a short distance from the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Maine.

The setting is exactly as you see in the picture. Very few of the cottages in the area are this close to the water, or have access to canoes and kayaks. The cottage itself is very basic, but its all you need for this sort of vacation. Getting out on the water is super relaxing, and the double kayak moves with very little effort. The upper half of the deck has fencing that you can't see in the picture, so it is safe for pets and young children if you block off the rest of the dock with the baby gate. There is a lobster pound up the street, and a big pot for cooking them in the well-equipped kitchen. There is a Hannaford's grocery store several miles away, so you are all set if you want to cook most of your own meals. Take advantage of the hiking trails nearby, and go to Ocean Point and the Botanical Gardens. Some hints: They added a large shade shelter over the near corner of the deck, which helps on warm afternoons. In the evening get one of the table umbrellas and lay it on its side to soften the sun glare off the water. If you bring a dog that sheds, roll up the throw rugs when you arrive, because they are hair magnets.

The Acorn, a sun filled efficiency apartment in beautiful Boothbay, Maine is close to all the local attractions: The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Golfing, Paddle Sports and Boating, Restaurants and Shopping, at the same time away from it all.
Some guests have come for just a stop along the way. For others, this is the destination. All have expressed regrets for not planning more time in Boothbay. There's just too much here for a brief visit. Come and enjoy!

A bright and airy efficiency, it is all new inside, with a queen sized bed, sleeper love seat and private entrance. There is dinner ware and cook ware for the kitchenette, and ample storage with two hanging closets.
Jack or Diane will be available most times to offer assistance.

From Knickerbocker Lake, head out in any direction and you'll find something of interest nearby. It's a half mile to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, one mile to the Country Club, shopping, and a mile and a half to Boothbay Harbor.
We are located adjacent to Camp Knickerbocker, the YMCA Day Camp.
You will at times hear the sound of children at play. For us, it's the sound of Summer.

We had a great time in Boothbay and Jack and Diane were excellent hosts. The apt is clean well equipped and very spacious. Great value for money.

williamAugust 2016

Jack and Diane are perfect hosts. The room was great, everything was spacious and clean. Communication with both was absolutely easy and I would definitely come back to them, if I would be in Boothbay again. Their house is beautiful and by car everything is easy to reach. They also had great ideas to see in Boothbay and area! We had a great stay!

MathiasJune 2016

This place was perfect for my 11 year old son and me to stay for the week while he attended the YMCA camp next door. It was extraordinarily well set up and clean, spacious, and efficient. It was away from the busyness of the Harbor area which we wanted. Great all around.

JenniferJuly 2016

We got into town later than expected due to vacation traffic but Jack met us promptly rushing home from dinner out with friends! Now that's dedication! They had tons of recommendations as to where we should go and do and had an inside scoop on the botanical gardens down the road as Diane works there! How convenient. We weren't able to see the gardens this trip but Jack passionately told us about the Festival of Lights that happens at the gardens in December and urged is to return to see that, and we just may!! Diane and jack are salt of the earth folks with a heart of gold. Renting on Air BnB is perfect for them because they value community and open mindedness and those are 2 of the most important qualities when welcoming guests in my opinion! Cheers guys, and thanks for the plunger! Too many lobster rolls lol

JennyAugust 2016

Better than expected- large space. Very clean. Everything you need. Jack was so nice and helpful with recommendations , that were right on. In the woods but very close and convenient to restaurants and all that Boothbay has to offer.

SandiJuly 2016

The listing was accurate and Jack and Diane could not have made us feel more welcome. The listing was off the road a hundred yards or so and had a secluded feel about it. It was close to the bay and other attractions.

ROBINJuly 2016

My partner and I stayed here for four nights and it was perfect! Jack and Diane were very communicative and we were able to meet them both upon arrival. They had lots of great suggestions for where to eat, hike, and visit around Booth Bay. The space is located in a quiet, secluded area, yet so close to the Harbor. As visitors from NYC, the ability to see stars at night and hear nothing but natural sounds from the surrounding wooded area was quite a treat. Inside, The Acorn was large, impeccably clean, with full amenities. We just couldn't have been more comfortable. This was truly a fantastic place to stay!

lindseyAugust 2016

Beautiful studio apartment is spotless and roomy. The windows were cracked slightly and the curtains drawn on a perfect day. On our arrival, Jack introduced himself and gave us a few pro-tips of things to scope out during our stay in Boothbay. Our hosts were very polite and inviting and provided a local map and collection of materials. That being said, our stay was also very private and quiet, which was really quite perfect. Another little perk: the internet speed was top notch which made it nice to stream some Netflix. Would love to stay here again given the opportunity. Really appreciated such a thoughtfully setup and immaculately kept apartment. Recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay at Melissa's cottage! There was plenty of room for the six of us ( 4 adults and 2 children). The kids really enjoyed exploring all of the nooks and crannies in the house. My 6 year old declared the walk in closet in the upstairs bedroom her playroom! Everything was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with all that was needed to cook for a family. The beds were very comfortable and had crisp, white sheets. The location worked well for us. It was less than a block away to the general store and a quick drive to the beach and down town. Can't wait to come back!

LoriJuly 2016

The neighborhood was lovely, it is a quaint little town with lots of charm. We loved the general store and it is in walking distance of the house:)....We had a great time exploring this little nook of Maine, Ocean point was amazing and had beautiful sunsets. Boothbay was less than 15 minutes from the house which made great evening excursions.

amandaAugust 2016

Her cottage was even nicer than it looks in the pictures. My friends and I loved our visit and the cottage was a big part of making our trip so enjoyable. If I return to Maine I'll stay there again!

josephJuly 2015

My place is close to Ocean Point, the beach, restaurants, shopping, Boothbay Harbor. You’ll love my place because it very quiet and private. Has a nice back yard for cookouts. It's good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets). It has a full kitchen, bath and sleeps 4. There is wi-fi and a Roku TV, outdoor deck with screened in porch. Picnic table and outdoor gas grill. Great place to relax after a day out and around the ocean.

Came for a quick getaway with my wife and loved this place for its value. It's a comfy, secluded, 2 bedroom cottage that is perfect for exploring the area. Boothbay Harbor is a cute place to visit, and the area is gorgeous. We could stay a week and relax. Oh, and did I mention at least one of the Queen beds is memory foam? And pillows too! We slept like logs. The cottage is in the woods near a few other homes and is not the place you're going to want to hang out in all day, but it's perfect for resting and re-grouping from being out and about. There is hiking, boating, kayaking, whale-watching, schooner tours, tourist shopping, and of course the Maine coast and beaches. The key with this place is value! Would totally stay again. Thanks, Kathryn.

CarlAugust 2016

Host was very easy to contact if we required something. She let us do our own thing. The place is very clean and had everything we needed. Very small and cozy. It is a bit hard to find, but was very comfortable to stay in.

LynnaAugust 2016

Kathryn went out of her way for us as staying there was a last minute decision on our part. She drove over an hour twice to make sure the place was ready for us.

tomOctober 2016

Kathryn was a very nice host and made us feel very welcome. When we had questions Kathryn was very prompt in replying. She provided suggestions of things to do in the area which was very helpful. The listing was accurate to the description. We really liked the neighborhood as it was in a very quiet peaceful area with lots of privacy. Her cottage was close to a local beach and not far from shops too. We would certainly stay here again!

StephenJuly 2016

Nice place in a great location! Really enjoyed staying here and exploring the area.

TimothyOctober 2016

Kathryn is a great host. My wife and I went there for our babymoon. We arrived at Kathryn's house and found a gift that she prepared for our baby! The house is lovely and clean. There is a backyard where you may do BBQ if you want. The location is great too. It's only 10 minutes away from the downtown area. There is a beauty small beach (Sunset beach) just 2 minutes away where you can enjoy amazing sunset.

HaomingAugust 2016

Our stay at The Songbird was great. The location is perfect as well - very close to a nice scenic walk/run/drive along the Ocean Point coast as well as Boothbay Harbor. I hope to go back and visit in the future!

CorinaSeptember 2016

Jamie was there to great us... secluded very quiet setting with lots of trails and forest around. Peaceful place. Make sure to have a GPS or would be extremely difficult to find... many roads and curves... signage was good though ... GPS took us right to the doorstep.

CorinaSeptember 2016

The Mossy Glen Lodge was great! I would not hesitate to stay there again. My room was clean and cozy, and Jamie was a great host--he was quick to offer suggestions for hiking/dining outings, and he even watched the presidential debate with me in the living room. Highly recommended for folks who want to enjoy the activities in Boothbay Harbor but still want to get away from the hustle and bustle.

A cozy lodge, all the wood creates a homely feeling and we felt very comfortable. The kitchen was big and the surrounding is beautiful. He gave us a lot of information and was a very nice host.

JudithJune 2016

Mossy Glen Lodge has a very rustic feeling to it. It looks exactly like the picture. Jamie is a good host and give s clear instruction about the place.

SoumyaSeptember 2016

Enjoyed my stay here. Very warm welcome as well as a lovely home. My immediate impression was "home." If I could change one thing, it would be to have more down time to enjoy the trails and nature surrounding this beautiful, quaint area. I would recommend this place to anyone searching in Boothbay, and I would not hesitate to make a return here. Thanks for everything.

Our 2 bedroom cottage is located on a pristine lake in the Boothbay Region on the coast of Maine, just a five minute walk away from the beautiful Coastal Maine Botanical Garden, and about a one mile walk, or ride, to the center of Boothbay Harbor.

We do not conduct a formal check-in and check-out. We live on the premises and are happy to visit with you as much or as little as you like.

Boothbay Harbor is well known as one of the premier boating centers along the New England coast. You may spend your time exploring secluded coves, while hiking twenty-five miles of nature trails
maintained by the Boothbay Region Land Trust, browsing among the many little shops in the Harbor, or taking advantage of the numerous scenic cruises
or sport fishing trips available. There are many fine restaurants where you can enjoy fresh Maine seafood. Our cottage is in a private wooded area on a secluded end of the lake. We have a roomy central grassy area, a sandy beach ideal for swimming, and rowboats, kayaks and canoes that you may use for fishing (bass and trout) or for exploring other parts of the lake.
All four of our cottages are completely furnished and well appointed with all the amenities for a relaxing and comfortable get-away. Just bring your own food, bed sheets and bath towels. We will supply linens for an additional fee if requested.
Friday to Friday rentals apply in July and August

We loved staying in the White Cottage. Our family of four enjoyed the charming space and it's proximity (Practically right on it) to the beautiful Knickerbocker Lake. The grounds are well kept and exactly as you would imagine a Maine, Lake Cottage to be. A row boat and several kayaks are provided for renters for no fee and there is a small beach for sitting, swimming, etc. We would def. recommend this cottage or one of the several others to anyone looking for a relaxing Maine Lake getaway.

ChrisOctober 2016

Great place to stay with our small children. Lots of space and privacy. My boys enjoyed the outdoor space and swimming in the lake. Kitchen was well organized with everything we needed to make full meals, and enjoy eating together on the screened in porch.

Zachary August 2016

Awesome place, everything was just as described and they had a lot of information handy at the cottage if it's you're a first time visitor.

JuanOctober 2016

We had a fantastic time at Bill and Paula's "WHITE COTTAGE." The location was perfect - we even had two loons visit us! Much worked smoothly including the well-equipped kitchen, the lovely screened in deck, the t.v. (we watched the French Open) and the internet. There were a few concerns that, were they to be remedied, we would give serious consideration to a return stay. See below

ThomasJune 2014

We had a wonderful time staying at the White Cottage. It was clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen - Paula and Bill clearly care a lot about the place, and it shows. The view of the lake from the cottage is wonderful, and we loved sitting on the porch and listening to the frogs and loons. It was also great being able to use the canoes and lie out on the dock. I would absolutely stay here again! (One other tip - there's a nice farmers' market in Boothbay, so maybe save some of your grocery shopping for when you arrive!)

OraJune 2014

It's a really lovely place. I stayed there one night with my parents. We really enjoy our stay. It is really quiet and a nice gateway from urban life. And by following Bill's recommendation we spend some time on nearby attractions.

HuiwenJune 2015

This is a lovely cottage, functional, cosy and right on the lake. We had great fun using the canoe to catch the sunset and I have no hesitation in recommending the place.

CeriSeptember 2015

Bill and Paula were wonderful hosts. Their delightful cottage was ready with fresh linens which we had requested and lovely flower arrangements from the garden. The cottage is small, snug and very comfortable. There is everything you would need for a stay of a week or more. The cottage is positioned right beside the lake backed by woods. It is very tranquil and quiet. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and visiting picturesque Boothbay Harbor.

This was a nice place with plenty of stuff to do on the property. The storms and bugginess made it a bit hard to enjoy the outdoors but, with nicer weather, I imagine it can be very lovely. The house is a beautiful, antique building (requiring extra care and consideration) and has been outfitted with a great deck/porch. Melissa was very communicative in the lead up and proactive (almost overwhelmingly so) in her explanation of the elements of the house + local tourism when we got on site. I would recommend future guests read the fine print very closely (two or three times) and budget for the possibility of the extra fees or services into your overall trip. We paid an extra $300 to host 2 "events" - a dinner and a breakfast - at the house because of some other plans falling through for our larger family group of 25 (including us, house guests). That felt steep but worthwhile for our immediate needs. The check out process was a bit labor-intensive - more so than I have ever experienced in my past Airbnb stays - but it's in the guidelines so we had to be game. But the trip still ended on a slightly sour note. We worked to meet all the check out guidelines but needed a small amount of flexibility with time (less than an hour) but ended up having to pay more money.

We had a spectacular time at the Waterfront Cape. The house has everything one would need and a short drive into the Harbor. We spent all of our time outdoors grilling on the deck, kayaking, exploring the grounds/waterfront and enjoying the campfire. Melissa was an excellent host. She was easily accessible and accommodating during our stay and gave us the inside scoop on the surrounding area . I definitely look forward to my next trip to Boothbay as the town has so much to offer.

Have a quintessential lakefront vacation at this 3BR, 1BA cabin on two lush acres, including 350 ft. of lake frontage. Newly renovated but with a classic Maine cabin vibe, you can tuck in here for quiet afternoons by the lake…or easily get out and explore!

Six guests can have a quintessential lakefront vacation at this 3-bed, 1-bath cabin on two lush acres, including 350 ft. of private lake frontage (inflatable kayak provided!).
Newly renovated but with a classic Maine cabin vibe, you can tuck in here for quiet afternoons by the lake…or easily get out and explore.
Though the setting is private, this home is located just 10 minutes from Boothbay Harbor, called “The Soul of the Maine Coast,” and 5 minutes from the gorgeous, 270-acre Coastal Maine Botanical Garden!
INSIDE THE HOUSE
Inside, warm wood walls and floors gleam in the natural light. The living area features a large flat-screen TV and a collection of DVDs, Roku with Netflix, HBO GO, and board games for family nights in. A picture window anchors this room and looks out to the lawn and quiet, inviting Knickerbocker Lake. Our home offers baseboard heating in each room to keep you warm when the weather gets cold.
Gathering together is easy thanks to the open floor plan. The open dining area sits between the living area and kitchen, which is great for prepping picnics and pancake breakfasts. There’s a fridge, small electric stove, microwave, and coffeemaker.
Bedrooms include a master bedroom with a queen bed and desk area, a 2nd bedroom with a double bed, and a 3rd bedroom with two cozy, quilted twin beds tucked under the eaves. The bedrooms share a bath with tub and shower combo.
Outside might be the place where you spend the most time, though! It has all the lakefront vacation classics: bocce ball, ladder golf, a gas grill, outdoor seating and, most importantly, lake access! We provide one inflatable kayak for guest use.

THE LOCATION
Boothbay Harbor earned the name the “Soul of the Maine Coast” thanks to its rocky coastlines, friendly locals, fishing boats anchored in the harbor, and strollable sidewalks lined with shops. It’s also known for its boating excursions: go whale-watching, rent a kayak, or take a sunset schooner cruise.
All just 10 minutes away from this rental!
Or drive 5 minutes and explore the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden. With its 270 acres of tidal shores and nature exhibits to teach and inspire, it’s considered on of the best gardens in America! The Gardens Aglow are also just a short drive away for the winter season.
Winter nights are aglow at Boothbay's Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens! Maine's largest light display just got even larger, with over 360,000 (and counting!) LED lights illuminating the central gardens and buildings and drawing festive crowds from all over.
The home is also just a few minutes from several of the Boothbay Region Land Trust Preserves. There are 30 miles of year-round hiking trails free of charge. Enjoy meadows, forests, wetlands, scenic vistas and the natural beauty of the Boothbay region.

This is a great little find north of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor, but close to both towns (~5 minutes). It's quiet and very cozy. The host was great and very communicative. Accommodations were exactly what I was looking for, small, quiet, & cozy.

House was spotless when I arrived. House has a comfortable cottagey feel. Reminded me of cape cod vacations when I was younger. Spent one night by myself and then was joined by a friend and her two children,9 months and 4 1/2 years old. Very comfortable house for us.We were in the area for a wedding and wished we had more time to explore the yard and water. We did get to the botanical gardens and they were special. Will get back just to explore there some other time. Had a problem with heat( first time on for the season) and tv reception and ,as soon as we notified the turn key team,theyfixed both issues right away. Would stay here again. Thanks. Ken K
